Ikkaku Madarame only respected the strong, and there was no such a thing as "going down without a fight" in his dictionary.
With a fierce bald head, he grinned, revealing sharp white teeth and a beast-like expression.
"Captain of the 9th Division, I won't easily surrender!"
The wild Reiatsu raged like a storm on the grass, causing the grass to fly in all directions along with the dust.
It seemed that Ikkaku Madarame did not know what happen during the previous assessment battle. Therefore, he had no idea about Tokikaze's true strength.
Upon issuing the arrest order, Ikkaku Madarame still clung to the idea of fighting back.
"Can I take it that you're resisting the arrest warrant?"
Tokikaze took out his right hand from his shihakusho, and he no longer seemed as lazy as earlier.
"It's up to you how to interpret it, Captain-dono."
Ikkaku Madarame sneered and raised the sheathed Zanpakuto in his hand.
"If you're strong enough, you should be able to arrest me."
Seeing this, the members of the 11th Division behind him began to laugh and cheer.
"Haha, Ikkaku, teach that guy some lesson."
"That guys tears down our gate! Don't let him off so easily!"
"Make him regret it for the rest of his life!"
In this chaotic scene, Toshimura Todo cowered. He even subconsciously hid behind Tokikaze.
Of course, it wasn't his fault. In the 9th Division, Toshimura Todo was a non-combatant. Him coming to the 11th Division's barracks was like a rabbit entering a tiger's den. It was more than fortunate that he didn't faint.
On the other hand, Tokikaze remained as calm as ever, showing no change in expression.
"Todo, make another note."
"11th Division members show complete disregard for the law and no respect for a Captain."
Toshimura Todo shivered and dared not say much, carefully recording the information on the case file.
"Huh?" Ikkaku Madarame's red, eerie eye shadow raised, disdainfully saying, "Respect is for the strong. If you're strong enough, you'll naturally earn my respect."
As he pointed his scabbard at Tokikaze, he continued, "Now, let's settle the score for the broken gate!"
Boom!
Ikkaku Madarame charged at Tokikaze with lightning speed.
With a grin on his face and the surging Reiatsu materializing, he exuded an overwhelming aura.
Being aggressive was in his nature.
Facing the seemingly demonic Ikkaku Madarame, Tokikaze kept his eye on him and the oncoming attack.
The shallow strike sliced through the air, heading straight for Tokikaze's face.
"Bakudō #39: Enkōsen."
Tokikaze showed no intention of evading, and lazily used Bakudō #39! A round shield appeared at the perfect moment, blocking the strike and producing sparks from the clash.
An attack of that level was not enough to break through Enkōsen's defense.
Even if Ikkaku Madarame used Shikai, the result would be the same.
Being caught off guard, the tremendous recoil force almost bounced Ikkaku Madarame away.
"Kido..."
He stared at the round shield in front of him and gritted his teeth. "I hate opponents like you the most."
Due to the 11th Division's style, most of them used direct-attack Zanpakutō, and they were not proficient in Kido.
Coupled with the relatively recent appointment of Zaraki Kenpachi, who had no interest in Kido, this Division became less and less interested in Kido.
"No matter." Tokikaze responded indifferently. "I'll make you acknowledge me."
As he withdrew his Reiatsu, Enkōsen disintegrated into Reishi.
Tokikaze hadn't even drawn his Zanpakutō. He attacked Ikkaku Madarame with his bare hands.
Witnessing this, Ikkaku Madarame became more vigilant, sensing an imminent danger.
Ikkaku Madarame defended himself, placing his sword in front of him to block the attack.
Shihozuki Waza: Sode Guruma.
His right arm bent at an extremely strange angle, avoiding the sharp shallow cut, and before Ikkaku could react, his face was hit.
Ikkaku Madarame felt his vision darken, and he couldn't conceal the shock in his heart.
Before he could react, a calm voice resounded.
"Straightforward moves and erratic fighting style, no different from a beast..."
Tokikaze's right hand covered Ikkaku Madarame's face, and Reiatsu erupted, completely subduing him.
"Well, you're just the Third Seat of the Combat Division."
A burst of explosive sound followed.
Boom!
Tokikaze's right hand erupted with force, slamming Ikkaku Madarame into the grass, creating a deep crater.
The ground cracked layer by layer, creating a mess.
The 11th Division's barracks fell into complete silence.
The observing Shinigami widened their eyes in disbelief.
It wasn't that they couldn't accept Ikkaku Madarame's defeat, but the fight was simply too one-sided.
From start to finish, Ikkaku Madarame had only swung his sword twice.
One slash on the Enkōsen, which had no effect, and a defensive slash that didn't even touch the opponent's clothes.
He was thrown onto the grass miserably.
Even Toshimura Todo, who had come with Tokikaze, couldn't believe what just happened.
While he believed Tokikaze would win, it was very anti-climatic!
This newly appointed Captain's strength was just too overwhelming!
Toshimura Todo gradually became excited.
Tokikaze, on the other hand, remained calm as ever, showing no emotional fluctuations.
In his eyes, this was only natural.
After all, his Hakuda was at level 9.
In this aspect alone, how many people could truly stand up to him throughout the entire Soul Society?
Tokikaze was confident enough to overwhelm Hakuda experts like Yoruichi Shihoin and Muguruma Kensei, let alone Ikkaku Madarame.
"Bakudō #4: Hainawa."
Tokikaze flicked his fingers, and a rope-like light formed by Reishi flew out, binding Ikkaku Madarame in an instant.
"Todo, take care of this guy."
Just as Todo was about to show off, Tokikaze suddenly heard a voice from the crowd.
"You can't just take away Ikkaku like this..."
Tokikaze raised his eyebrows, and looking over, he nodded in agreement.
"True."
"I almost forgot about you guys."
He glanced at Todo beside him and instructed, "Take away all the criminals here as well."
11th Division Soul Reaper: "???"
